Decision making process in case of explainer videos

“A decision is said to be made when an
individual selects a course of action from two or more alternative choices.”

There are various stages in consumer decision making in
selecting explainer videos:

Problem
recognition: A consumer identifies various problems
in his firm and recognises the need to buy an explainer video.

Generally the various problems of many
firms that lead to the purchasing of explainer videos are:

a)When start-ups face the problem
that the owner himself is managing both sales and marketing

b)When the company wants to
impress the consumer within very little time.

c)When it is difficult to
accomplish the task of making the customer understand the benefits of the
product through using just text or traditional marketing materials.

d)When it is necessary to get
ranked with a better rank by the search engine optimization companies like Google.

e)When the company is interested
to promote its product aggressively in social media.
